Sparx releases Enterprise Architect 8

Sparx Systems, a vendor of modeling tools based on open standards,
has announced the official release of Enterprise Architect 8, a
major update to the company’s integrated modeling and development
tool.

“An important goal in version 8, was to deliver the same
responsiveness and ease of use in very large, shared models as in
smaller and mid-range models. Integral to this goal was the
provision of Traceability tools, searching and other mechanisms for
cross referencing information and linking model based information
back to real-world artifacts,” explained Geoffrey Sparks, CEO of
Sparx Systems.

In conjunction with Enterprise Architect 8, Sparx Systems has also
released an integrated add-in that supports the Object Management
Group’s standards-based enterprise architecture framework, the
Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).
